WHAT IT DOES

What fetch_agents does on Acronis Platform

AI agents call fetch_agents to retrieve information from Acronis Platform without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why fetch_agents is rated Low

Even though fetch_agents only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs fetch_agents safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Acronis Platform, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For fetch_agents, this is the rule to start with:

fetch_agents Allowed

fetch_agents is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "fetch_agents": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Acronis Platform, apply this rule, and every fetch_agents call is checked against it from then on.
